Sooty Owl from Iittala

The Sooty Owl is a mouth-blown piece from Professor Oiva Toikka, one of the greatest names in Finnish glass. His imaginative, rich and bold glass art deviates from the streamlined aesthetic of Nordic design, and he has received numerous awards including the Lunning Prize, Pro Finlandia Medal, World Glass Now 85 Award, Kaj Franck Design Prize and the Prince Eugen Medal. The Birds Collection is Toikka’s best-known work; the Sooty Owl is from the 2013 collection. Each piece is individually made, so a slight variance from the picture above is possible.
